So now knowing that our baby is 4 1/2 inches long it is no wonder that I can feel it moving around. Just the other day Jess and I were at Walgreens and I had this terrible cramp in my right side. I poked it and prodded it and it was rock hard! I figure it was probably the baby’s bottom or back crammed up in the corner. As we walked outside it felt as if the lump just slid down… I stopped dead in my tracks and almost cried when I realized I felt the baby move for the first time all on it’s own! Since then I have felt it move multiple times, usually when it seems to be “tucked” somewhere. High and to the left or low and in the middle.. It always feels like there is some sort of large marble or something sliding across my insides. CRAZY!
On another note, I have been having the craziest dreams lately! Almost all of them involving vampires. I know some of you may be thinking, this is just my uncontrollable past catching up with me… but really according to dream analysis websites: to see a vampire suggests that you are feeling physically or emotionally drained. So it looks like I’ll be dreaming about vampires for a while… Mom, didn’t you have a few vampire dreams while you were prego with me???
Friday is another doctors appointment where we will schedule the ultrasound to make sure the baby is healthy and whether it is a boy of a girl!

How fun! That first real feeling is always so surreal. Just think – pretty soon that thing will be kicking your guts!
I only wish I could be there!
